Chapter 969: Soul Wars - First Contact
In the living room of the Horna Mansion, the three soul envoys who had come to Hir Northson with Sivi were staring wide-eyed.
Fortunately for Raven and Jon, the former had been Sophia's assistant and had some knowledge of most of the affairs and characters of the Adric Academy.
Jon is also a figure who has crossed several Duchy counties alone, leaving a heroic name along the way, and at the same time meeting Raven when he was doing some tasks for Edric and earning some food expenses.
Although there are some embarrassments between the two, it is better than Naia, who is not familiar with life in the real sense.
Since being brought back to Edrick by Sivi, because the girl herself has no magical talent, she did not enter the academy, but joined the chamber of commerce under the Adrick Academy, and supported her family by herself.
But that's all there is to the girl's experience...... Although she had survived the years of time standing alone and being lonely, her mind was far more mature than her appearance, but after all, she was still just a child, and the temperament that Raven and Jon had developed because of their extraordinary strength naturally made her a little restless.
"Actually, you don't have to be that nervous."
Jon, who couldn't stand it, sighed and spoke.
His voice made Naia's whole body tremble, as if she was frightened.
"Half a year ago, I was just a slave......"
With a stunned expression on his face, Jon continued with a wry smile: "Although I don't have a deed of sale unlike ordinary slaves, people born in our village will be sold to rich merchants by the big lords there as miners for generations, and some prisoners will also be sent to the village...... In a word. That village was truly a smoky miasma and a place full of despair. ”
If it weren't for his childhood sweetheart and his sister by his side to encourage him, Jon felt that he would probably have committed suicide due to humiliation before he met the uncle who gave him the soul device, or he would have been killed in an argument with the miners.
"And then you got two soul apparatus and escaped from that village?" Raven knew Jon though. However, the information that Xiwei gave her was not exhaustive about the other party's life experience, so she asked curiously.
By the way, because Jon's information doesn't mention Jon's soul device from his sister, and Sivi doesn't explain it, Raven always thought that Jon only had two soul devices.
"One thing, to be exact," Jon was naturally well aware of this, in fact, if Raven would know about the soul device on his body that he had never used, he would think that the Adric Academy had ulterior motives. However, there was no need to explain, so Jon only added, "My future pupil is my best friend...... No. My love. ”
"Lover...... ? ”
Raven gave the word an emotional expression.
Jon more or less knew that the girl in front of him, who had been an enemy of the Adric Academy, had some meaning for the supernatural Dean, but it was a pity that the Dean didn't even notice Professor Sophia's intentions, let alone Raven's......
"With all that said, you should be able to relax a little, right?"
Feeling that he was not qualified to dictate Raven's path of love, Jon turned his head and said softly to Naia, who was looking at the two of them with wide eyes.
Although the girl still felt a little timid, he always felt that the estrangement between the three of them had indeed been reduced a little.
Just as he was about to pry Naia, he opened his heart as well. When talking about their past, the three of them were almost at the same time. There was a subtle expression on his face that seemed to be electrocuted.
-- It's soul resonance.
Raven and Jon quietly exchanged glances.
"Could it be the Pope?" Raven continued her previous graceful demeanor, picking up the teacup on the table and making a gesture to drink, and asked Jon softly as she covered her mouth with the teacup.
"Probably not."
Jon lowered his eyes and didn't look at the other. Just keeping his lips moving as little as possible, he replied softly, "I have met the Pope of the Church of Necessary Evil, and I have experience resonating with her soul. At least this time it was a very different situation than the last time - I don't think she'd be able to switch to another Soul Gear in such a short period of time. ”
The reason why they suddenly made such an action like a joint of the underground party was because the other soul equipment that appeared inexplicably was most likely watching them somewhere.
"Didn't we get found out not long after we came here...... Sure enough, what the dean said was right, the soul envoys would attract each other. ”
Jon sighed again.
Although after Xi Wei said the sentence 'Soul Tool Envoys will attract each other', a tangled expression immediately appeared on his face. Still muttering there, 'Sure enough, no one came to complain about how stupid they were doing this kind of stupid thing, it was really empty, ...... empty' or something.
"So......" Raven sighed softly, since the other party was not the Pope of the Church of Necessary Evil, then there were not many options left.
All in all, he is either a city lord who wants to secretly observe his group, or a soul hunter who covets soul equipment.
Neither side is easy to get along with.
"What now? Pull the other party out and beat each other? Jon continued, consciously ignoring Naia, who hadn't been able to figure out what was going on.
In addition, it is obvious that it is not possible to take it out and beat it.
If the other party is the city lord of Haier Northson, then his group will definitely be thrown out of Hellnoson.
On the other hand, if you encounter a soul hunter, it is still unknown whether you can beat it on your side.
"So do you want to wait for Sivi to come out?" Jon said as if he was a little reluctant.
"Of course not, even if you can't attack the other party, then at least there won't be any problem in meeting each other, right? It's Horna, after all...... The Pope's territory has a lot of knights stationed, and the city lord doesn't dare to mess around, if it's really a soul hunter, as long as we can drag those knights over, we can be considered a great success. Raven suddenly said: "What's more, I don't think Sivi will at least come slower than those knights......"
On the other side of the mansion, Sivi, who was chatting with Horna, sneezed loudly.
And Horna also said that she felt the soul resonance, but unfortunately she was busy guarding the city wall yesterday and had not fought the soul hunter, so there was no way to confirm whether the source of this resonance was the soul hunter. (To be continued......)
